#it's just an idea

[starsandaces24]

I don't know, maybe Edwin was the first person to even like Monty? Maybe, in all of Monty's life, the first person to show him any true kindness was the person he was created to destroy? And he let Edwin go because he showed Monty what love was like?

I actually need a scene with Dream and Edwin meeting and Dream saying he remembers Edwin as a child who spent hours with Lucien around the dreaming library. And he would say so in an unnaturally soft voice because deep down the young ghost reminds him of his Orpheus.

I wasn't scared, it was just an idea that came to me.

For a long time I wanted Amy to have a good destiny in Archies Comic, like if she got married and had a child, but I didn't find anyone good to keep her company until...

I saw her interaction with Bark the Polar Bear and I thought it was ok, very ok, so I decided to make this character a fanchild of theirs.

His name is

By her design, she thought of a snow outfit for her, so she would have some resemblance to Bark, so much so that she doesn't wear finger gloves.

It already uses a color palette, very light yellow, with pink detail, I chose purple to match the yellow.

As for her personality, she can be shy at first, but after a while she appears to be happy, kind and polite. But despite her appearance, she has strength very similar to her father and it gets worse when she uses her mother's hammer.

I created this character with Archie Comic in mind, to be part of the new generation that was created together with Manik and Sonia.

i attempted to post this on the hellsite that is r*ddit but it's not being approved so here we go:

I was thinking about why TTPD doesn't work for me and came up with an alternative presentation/aesthetic for this cycle that feels more cohesive to me.

The content we got on TTPD is, to put it mildly, messy. Not only that it doesn't really match the visuals (at least for me) and The Tortured Poets Department is a mouthful. So I'm throwing those two things in the bin. Instead, I present Aftermath.

Aftermath is 13-15 songs, no double album, not deluxe this or variant bonus song that. It features the messiest songs from TTPD/Anthology: "But Daddy I Love Him", "Florida!!!", "The Prophecy", "So High School", "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)", "The Albatross" - songs of that ilk (I haven't made a full track list but feel free to). Not just songs that are messy in their production or lyrical quality but the songs where Taylor is a mess in the aftermath of her relationships - both Joe and MH and with her fame.

The album art is of Taylor in a high school bedroom. Posters on the wall, bright colors, a lot of clutter and mess. Clothes on the floor, magazines, books. Taylor herself is in the room clearly too mature and old to be there. She is out of place and knows it. She can put her little Easter eggs in this room. One is of pom poms and a cheer outfit as a nod to "You Belong With Me" as she has become the cheer captain

But this room is on a sound stage. Outside of the walls we can see scaffolding, people carrying film equipment and minding their own business as they go about their work. This of course plays into "I Can Do it with a Broken Heart" and "mirrorball" - the performative nature of her own life at this point.

I would be a lot more interested and engaged with the music when presented in this self-aware, tongue-in-cheek way. In this scenario, she knows she's a wreck and playing into that character. She's highlighting the absurdity of it as a woman in her mid-30s and it's not so serious and tortured. There's a more playful quality where she can play into the villain aspect with her being the cheer captain dating the football star. She's also highlighting the "Clara Bow" aspect of a younger star replacing her by putting herself back in that younger setting, highlighting the absurdity of it and still trying to fit that mold.

anyway TTPD isn't doing it for me bye.

Valentine’s Day Short Idea

A Valentine’s Day short that would feature different ways to celebrate and that kinda thing with almost every major and minor character.

It would start focused on Meena getting ready for her first date with Alfonso and then the text messages in a group chat would pan over to the others and how they’re spending the day. 

It would feature:

Meena and Alfonso walking towards a fair on their date 

Rosita and Norman on their couch surrounded by their kids, watching a movie

Buster in a fancy restaurant with Eddie, apparently talking about a wedding 

Clay putting a rose in front of his wife’s picture with a smile 

Nooshy teaching Ash to dance to some of her songs 

Marcus kissing his necklace with a sad smile, Stan and Barry in background

Mrs Crawly moonbathing with Herman (her boyfriend) on a bench 

Johnny and Ryan cuddled up on the garage roof looking at the stars 

Porsha playing video games in her room, celebrating as she won 

Gunter doing some late-night dance practice cheerfully in his studio 

Suki cooking dinner while humming to a song from Sing 2

Mike and Nancy having drinks at the club from the first movie 

Nana at a play, applauding politely during the bows

Thoughts?

Feel like chapters isn't working to me I split my dissertation into 5 word documents so they're small enough to handle

Let me be honest with you guys. I've always wanted to try live streaming, but I tend to get anxious over not being entertaining enough.

Also, I'm gonna need a lot to set up if I'm going to stream, and I need to decide what type of content am I going to stream.

Hopefully, I'll try it one day but currently not now.

uuuuh I desperately want to know about jatp secret garden au. please tell me whatever you want

Oh yeah, I forgot I mentioned that! It's a very disjointed idea, but the basic points I have are: (Note, this is based on the musical version of the story)

Julie as Mary, Carrie as Collin(cause you can't convince me she wouldn't do the whole "I'm too sick to do things" thing), Willie as Dicken, Flynn as Marta, Trevor as Archibald, Caleb as Dr. what's his name, and Rose as Lily.

Trevor, Ray, and Rose all used to be together, but some kind of rift formed, causing Ray and Rose to move away with baby Julie. Trevor was left with baby Carrie and the memory of his loves. He couldn't take it and boarded up both Rose's garden and Ray's library.

Ray and Rose (and everyone else) die in India, leaving a 15 year old Julie alone. Their will names Trevor as her guardian. So she is sent to England to live with him. Trevor's brother, Caleb, is eager to send her away to school, but Trevor can't stomach the idea of losing the last little piece he has of his two lovers. She comes to the house.

Julie is basically shut down from grief. Flynn is like, "why is this girl so useless?" but also wants to help her. The two slowly become friends as Julie opens up and Flynn learns to translate her Yorkshire a bit.

Julie finds Carrie, a bit of yelling happens, but they become friends as well after a bit. Carrie struggles with feeling jealous of Julie's friendships outside of her room, and Julie sometimes resents Carrie for still having at least one parent alive, but they make it work.

Side note, I have no idea what, if any, romance would be going on in this story. If I ever wrote it, I feel that the characters would decide for me. I could see it going many directions to be honest. But I wouldn't be surprised if some combination of Flynn, Carrie, and Julie ended up in love.

Anyways, Julie spots Rose's garden, gets warned off, Willie helps her talk to a robin and get the key, all that jazz. But the garden is dead.

Very disheartened, Julie retreats back into herself. Her friends notice and want to help. Willie and Flynn start helping her with the garden. So does Alexander, the doctor's footman, when he can get away... Julie isn't imagining the looks going back and forth between him and Willie, right?

But they get found out! And Trevor runs off to London, freaking out. Dr. Covington wants to send Julie away to school. Julie just wants a home and a family. But Carrie is getting worse and they can't see her! So Julie writes to Trevor, who has had to face his past while away. He comes home.

When he gets back, he calls Julie into a room she hadn't seen before. Ray's library. He finally explains everything that happened between him and her parents and asks her forgiveness for not being the parent he wanted to be for her. Julie accepts but points out that he owes that more to Carrie than her. Big family reconciliation moment!

Covington gets sent packing, but Alex has been hired on as a gardener so all is well! They all go out to the garden and live happily ever after.

Yup, that's about all I got. It's mostly snapshots to be honest. But yeah, that's my secret garden au idea!

Guess who came up with an interactive fiction by reading game of thrones and isekai?

Story time

When I was younger I took things much more literally than i do now and I didn't know people used the term T for their Testosterone

So when I heard "T shot" or something I thought it was like a little shot glass of tea and was like "that's an interesting way to drink tea, but that's so little :("

I now know what it refers to but I propose that in fantasy settings people take shots of this magical tea to transition and the dosage has to be a shot and the process has to take so long cause the magic is so concentrated in the shot that it would be dangerous to take too much too soon and could cause really bad side affects.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
